Two Atlassian Williams F1 Team Driver Academy drivers are back in action this weekend, with both Alessandro Giusti and Jade Jacquet heading to Silverstone for the next rounds of their respective championships.
For Sandro, it’s an immediate chance to bounce back after a frustrating Spielberg outing, while Jade returns to F1 Academy competition for Round 3 of her rookie season.
Alessandro Giusti
Formula 3
Alessandro Giusti heads to Silverstone looking to reset after a difficult weekend at the Red Bull Ring.
The Frenchman showed strong pace in Spielberg, qualifying P6 before a grid penalty dropped him back for both races. Despite fighting forward in the Sprint and Feature, further penalties and late-race setbacks left him without the results his speed deserved.
Silverstone now offers an important opportunity to respond immediately as the Formula 3 season reaches its halfway point.
The iconic British circuit presents a very different challenge to Austria, with its sweeping corners and flowing rhythm rewarding commitment and precision. With pace clearly there, Sandro will be aiming to convert that into a cleaner and more rewarding weekend.
Formula 3 action begins with Practice and Qualifying on Friday, before the Sprint Race on Saturday and the Feature Race on Sunday.

Jade is set for her third F1 Academy round of the year
Jade Jacquet returns to F1 Academy action this weekend as the series arrives at Silverstone for Round 3 of the season.
After gaining valuable additional mileage through recent guest appearances in French Formula 4, Jade now shifts focus back to her main campaign, armed with more race experience and confidence.
Last time out in the three-race event at Canada, Jade recorded finishes of P12, P12 and P13 and the aim this weekend will be to record her first points finish of the year.
F1 Academy begins with Free Practice and Qualifying on Friday, before the Reverse Grid Race on Saturday evening and the Feature Race on Sunday morning.
